Checking the courts

HM Courts & Tribunals Service has published an organisational risk assessment and assessment tool to help it regularly review the safety of its buildings

It lists action that has already taken place, such as hiring extra cleaners, removing furniture to facilitate social distancing and putting systems in place to control the flow of people, and what further action needs to take place, for example, that checks be carried out throughout the day. If major issues cannot be resolved quickly then the building will be closed temporarily.

The document can be downloaded as a pdf from https://bit.ly/36yWSTx.
